Need help knowing how to work this problem it was on my worksheet so no book to help me and mom doesn't know

Question

know either

4x-2y=3

solve for y but please tell me in steps how to do it

Thank you smart people.. I was almost right just wasnt sure what to do with the -2

Answer 1

4x-2y=3
To get y by itself, subtract 4x from each side. You will be left with
-2y=-4x+3
Now, get rid of the -2 by dividing. Now you have
y=-4/-2x+3/-2
Simplify
y=2x-3/2

Answer 2

Hmm, Just that?

Hmm, from what i can see, -2y = 3 -4x then 2y = 4x -3 then y =2x -1.5

Or 4x= 3+2y, then x = 3/4 + 2/4y

Thus for x(0), 2/4y = -3/4, y= -3/2
Then for x(1), 1=3/4 +2/4y, 1-3/4 = 2/4y , y =1/2

then use this 2 points to plot your graph.

Answer 3

In all linear equations with two varibles, both variables always have infinite possibilities. This is no different. The value of y depends on what value x assumes. If x is 0, y is -3/2. If x is 1, y is 1/2. And so on. In this case x is said to be the independent variable as it is free to assume any value and y is said to be the dependent variable as its value depends solely on the value of x.
There are special types of equations called simultaneous equations which can be solved for both variables. In these questions, two equations are given with two variables. The variables can have only one value in order for both equations to be satisfied. Here's an example,
Solve for x and y:
2x + 3y/2 = 24,
x - 3y = -2
You must relate the two equations till you get the values of the variables that satisfy both equations.

Back to your question, the equation you provided can only be graphed on an x-y graph and not solved.

Answer 4

when the question asks you to solve for y it is asking you to get y on a side all by itself. the big thing to remember when trying to get y all by its self is that if you do something to one side of the equation, you need to do it to both. starting with the equation 4x-2y=3 you can subtract 4x from both sides. doing this will eliminate the 4x from the side with the y. this leaves you with -2y=3-4x. the last step is to divide both sides by negative two, dividing by two leaves you with just y on the left side of the equation and -3/2 +4/2x on the right side. giving you a final answer of y=-1.5 +2x

Answer 5

4x-2y=3
-2y=3-4x
y = -(3-4x)/2

not possible to go any further, since one equation with 2 unknowns. But if you substitute, for example, x=1, then you would get y=1/2
